(L-Top)TOPSHOT - Johan (R), embraces his wife Bianca, as with their children Zane (2nd R) and Marcus pose for a portrait while on an evening stroll in Orania, on May 29, 2024. Established in 1991 after the abolition of the racial laws, Orania is protected under South Africa's constitution, which ensures the right to self-determination.The town was developed on land acquired by a group of Afrikaner families, led by the son-in-law of Hendrik Verwoerd, the architect of apartheid. It was set up to preserve the "culture" of the Afrikaners -- descendants of the Dutch and French-Huguenot Protestant settlers who came to South Africa in the 17th century. Prospective residents of Orania submit an application, get vetted and the default requirement is one has to be Afrikaner. South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) is losing ground, according to a poll released on Friday, less than a week before the tightest election since the advent of democracy in 1994.

Trump and Pretoria are locked in a diplomatic row over a land expropriation act that Washington says will lead to the takeover of white-owned farms. Trump, whose tycoon ally Elon Musk was born in South Africa, said on February 7, 2025 the law signed in January would "enable the government of South Africa to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners' agricultural property without compensation". It allows the government, as a matter of public interest, to decide on expropriations without compensation -- but only in exceptional circumstances.
